Please do not take this wrongly ,but when camping or touring I take a laptop,a smartphone & have a tom tom I have never had to use anything other than the car battery to recharge these items
surely you do not rely so much on these items that you have to recharge them so often . do you ever enjoy your surroundings or just sit playing on the ipod/phone ,tablet????
Well, exactly! That's what I'm hoping. My hubby does read on his phone in the evening though, so I imagine that eats up quite a bit of battery. I read on my Kobo, which is a lot less battery hungry.
I use my phone to call my mother at least once a day, and I use it to find postcodes or maps etc of wherever we might be going. I don't use it as a sat Nav, because we have a garmin for that.
The kids would sit and play on the iPad all day if I let them - but I don't. As I said, they usually watch 10-15 minutes of cartoons or something in the evening. But that's really not necessary, we'll just take extra books.
I think I'll take the phones and the kobo, but leave the iPad. I think I'm worrying about this far too much. I like to have something to worry about! After all, when I was young, we would camp for 6 weeks in the summer with no electric and without a second thought! Although I was very scared of those gas mantle lights in the caravan, because one set on fire once, so I used to cry whenever my dad put it on.
